Character Development in Your Novel
How do we really get to know or identify with characters in a story? How you would know if they were: Shifty? (no eye contact, restless, impatient), Motherly? (stroking child’s hair, fussing about), Domineering? (leaning over you, raising voice, belittling), Cavalier? ( flipping hair, dismissive tone). These suggestions are good but do not really involve emotion.
Now go beyond. Use the five plus senses....
